okay, so i know the drill when it comes to Ts on the boards, but i'm dipping my toes in the water here and i really want to get a millipede. i'm wondering what you all have to throw in as input to my questions, since i'm having a little bit more trouble tracking down info right now:
1. i think i want Apeuthes sp, the thai rainbow millipede (i've heard these are easier to keep and live longer than the vietnamese rainbows, right?). i've done some research and read you can keep multiples, but is it okay to keep one alone? do they seem to do better and thrive more with company?
2. is bugsincyberspace.com the only place to buy these guys?
3. what should i generally expect from my millis and how will i know if something is wrong? i mean, Ts can be pretty noticable when something isn't right, what if there is something wrong with my millis?
4. where can i find some really good sources of information, preferrably online?
5. is handling these guys okay? i know some secrete caustic compounds, but i'm unsure past that and i want to know what your experiences with handling them have been like.
i hope you don't mind me asking these questions (even if they are kind of *derp**derp**derpy* to some of you), i tried to exhaust the search function, but i just didn't feel like i got enough info. and i really like to be prepared before i buy
